My husband and I are vegan and frequently travel to the DC area. No visit is complete without stopping in to the Silver Diner. Not only are the plant based dishes amazing, but the service is top notch. I must say that the entire staff is outstanding, both at the Arlington and Alexandria locations. A special nod to Nathaniel K. who served us breakfast on June 11 (2023) in Alexandria. Right up to the last detail, Nathaniel was there, even though the diner was packed. Nothing like observing grace under pressure :) Congratulations to your staff for consistently delivering world class service. Now, will you please come over to central NJ? I promise you, we don't bite ;) read more

Our waitress Isis was wonderful. Healthy and GF choices. Great if you like farm to table.

Waited at the bar for an hour and never got served or asked my order I will never be returning

The food was very tasty and fresh. I have eaten there numerous times. The servers are very attentive and friendly.

I came in for dinner with two girlfriends. This is our second time at this location. They offer outdoor seating, booths and regular tables inside. It's very spacious, we were not seated close to any other guest. As they are taking proper precautions during this time. The hostess was super friendly, and quick with seating us. Our waitress Toni was phenomenal!! Highly recommend her. She gave us a run down of the menu and answered all of our questions about certain dishes and drinks as well. Very patient with us, as we do take awhile to order. Everything was brought out in a timely manner, we did not have to remind her of anything. Drinks, appetizers, entrees and deserts were all amazing!!! I do have one recommendation for dessert. If you are a fan of bread pudding do not hesitate to try theirs, it's SOOOO goood. Everything about it is pure perfection! Overall we had a great experience here. Pictures are from two different days: read more

This location is perfect for me. They have free underground parking and if you park in the right spot the elevator takes you up really close to the diner. They have a large menu with everything. Breakfast, dinner, Healthy foods, drinks & dessert including milkshakes the service was very friendly and good. Everything we ordered was really good and they have other meat options like turkey bacon and chicken sausage, even vegan options. I got the guava ginger ale which was good too! This is going to be a new staple for me read more

My food was terrible and then they gave me the runaround about refunding my money. It was Terrible.

We often go out to eat. Recently though, even when the food was good; the service was not. In fact, being former servers ourselves, we were getting very jaded. This changed today when we were lucky enough to get Taron O. as our server. She is funny, kind and very knowledgeable about the food. Mostly though, she impressed us by how very attentive she was! In fact, she gave us the perfect amount of attention while allowing us the time to enjoy our meals too. Even better; she seemed to anticipate our needs before we had even thought of them. As usual, the food was not only delicious and the portions were more than generous but honestly, having Taron take care of us was the piece de resistance. We will be back and hopefully, when Taron is on duty! read more

A diner which feels fancy n nice. It's got all the same appeals of a diner. Nice comfy yummy food including all day breakfast but it's large and spacious and clean and has wait staff that make your dining experience nice. Sure the price is slightly high but it's worth it. Try it out, you'll go back again. Pros Yummy food Clean n spacious Good trained staff Cons Slightly pricey for a diner read more

Today I had lunch with my mother and son at Silver Diner. Brian was our server and he was so great!

Let me tell you the food here is always great! but today the service took it to another level, I am a poacher, lol I will not disclose my place of employment, but I am a manager and when I sit in to dine I watch and observe everything, and my waiter a young man by the name of Bryan gave me hope as our industry continues to struggle finding great candidates I was honored to see that in the 4 weeks that this young man has been here he has shown me he actually absorbed his training. * greet withing one min * he provided suggestions/menu knowledge was excellent * 2 bite follow up * checked in periodically refilling beverages clearing plateware * asked questions and provided exactly what I wanted I asked for crispy potatoes, instead of a simple how's everything, he asked if my potatoes were crispy enough and if I was enjoying them. It feels like we cannot expect much these days when dining out we just pray that our meal is great, today I was lucky to receive exceptional service, thank you Bryan. read more

As a night shift nurse, I am jonesing for some dinner menu at 0730. Silver diner west Alex is the answer to my prayers. I've missed weddings and graduations and family time as a nurse, but having a burger or steak after a grueling night shift takes some of the sting out of the pain. Excellent food, excellently prepared and they bring it right out to my car. I cannot wait for the pandemic to end so I can sit in SD and enjoy the ambience as well as the delicious food. read more

RAW MEAT! Before I get there I want to point out this was a big silver diner good location and plenty of seats but I'm disappointed in the lack of service. Just when we got seated we overheard the table next to us had been waiting nearly an hour for their food. This is where I started to spot the red flags. First, one of our drinks didn't arrive with the rest our drinks and the waiter did not pass by us for ten minutes. Second, one of our orders the majority of the plate is supposed to be French fries and they forgot the fries. Third, this is the worst of the worst I was served raw meat. Note, I ordered the meat to be cooked medium. The waiter went back to order a new steak for me. I was very frustrated with how the waiter did not check in with us often. We had to ask for silverware, napkins, ketchup, and our drinks during separate occasions. We were not offered anything for the bad experience. We wanted to order dessert but we were skeptical something was going to go wrong with that as well. Overall, this was the worst dining experience at a silver diner establishment which by the way I love the food but this location was not it. read more

Great breakfast and brunch food with nice selection of drinks. Friendly service with patience dealing with hungry little ones.

Liking the new location! Not because I am so far from other locations, but the location I usually go to (Springfield) has a nasty funky smell to it and a fly problem. So I was happy to see how clean this location was! The only sad thing is that this new branch is very generic-looking and doesn't have the jukeboxes around the restaurant like the other locations. Still, the music that was playing was very good. The food is always solid at Silver Diner (lunch/dinner better than breakfast), even if the prices are steep. Watch out for those $3.00 sodas, ugh. But the staff was very friendly and social distancing is being observed, so this is a solid option to visit if you are worried about Covid! read more

Great spot for brunch. It's the 3rd time I have dined here. The food and drinks here are amazing. Service is great. Our waitress was very attentive. I had the blueberry pancakes with coconut whipped creme. It was the best pancakes I've had in a while. Had to get a Oreo milkshake as well. read more

Horrible service. Sat there for 10mins before someone greeted us. Drinks were Watered down after taking forever to make their way to us. New Blue Curaçao drink was a fail. When mentioned to server nothing was done to compensate for this. Steak frites looked dry, avocado fist looked and tasted meh. Wings were okay. Would not recommend this place unless you want to be disappointed. read more

After driving by many times we were excited to check this place out. My son and I were looking forward to early morning pancakes as a treat after his haircut. We arrived at about 8:50 and were seated outside. It took a while to get any service or acknowledgement so we ordered immediately. While we waited they continued to seat people right next to us rather than spreading tables throughout the patio space. This was a bit annoying because I sat outside to have distance from others and there was plenty not being used. Our pancakes arrived and they were gross -- dry, bland -- my son took 2 bites. I also ordered pancakes as well and only ate a few bites as syrup couldn't save them. I asked for the check, paid, and left -- having taken 6 bites of our two meals. While the outside seating is nice, my son said McDonalds pancakes are better, so we won't be back. read more

My largest issue is the cost. Toast and eggs (no meat) and coffee with tax and tip is out of reach for my traveling per Diem, alloted for breakfast. Very clean and lots of staff so the process is efficent, but the cost must be mentioned. There are a lot of these in the DC region but the menu is shared. Well operated but your maoney goes further elswhere. read more

I and some friends meet occasionally in a spacious recreation hall and share a meal. We'll provide several different restaurant prepared meals and share notes on where we should continue to frequent with our business where we should not. Our recent endeavors pointed the group to Silver Diner in Alexandria, VA and our first exploration was favorable,; the Calf's Liver was very acceptable. However, the second visit to the restaurant did not bode well for a few in the group. Two of the Calf Liver entrees were burnt and the Philly omelet had a soapy after taste (others thought it tasted like cilantro - it was discarded). That evening the group was tasked with replacing several entrees at the last minute after spending $110 at the Silver Diner. Our friend who picked up the Silver Diner meal was asked to send pictures (email) of the burnt Calf Liver entrees; she did but never received a response - the incident occurred over a week ago. Signed Not ecstatic about the lack of response, Marie read more

First visit to the new Silver Diner and it was great! Food was excellent, service was top notch, and the outdoor patio is a great place to sit. All staff was very friendly and helpful. I had worried that the King St traffic would be a bit much but we barely noticed. The menu has a solid variety of different foods and is a great place to stop into for Sunday brunch or when you just don't know what you want to eat. read more
